Of course, a biography of John would open with the usuals: the twin lens camera gifted to a boy by his father, high-school darkrooms, the MFA studies in NYC. Years of assisting industry giants and then the slow and steady growth to a satisfying career. But what that bio wouldn’t capture is what John views as the very best part of his work– that each project is an opportunity to connect with a person or idea at the deepest level. John’s real talent (and some say his superpower) is his ability to perceive his subjects’ inner character and then reveal it in his images. In this way, John’s work helps tell stories that are deep, meaningful and resonant.
I love collaborating with my clients and getting to know them. I do whatever it takes to put my clients at ease by making photography fun, creative and enjoyable. I work closely with my clients to take their project from concept to completion. My photo projects have taken me across the street and around the globe. Working under pressure or in a fast-paced environment comes second nature to me. When I'm not shooting, you can probably find me in my garden, hiking something — somewhere or on my yoga mat. My alter ego to photography is being a 200 RYT at Blue Yoga Nyla in North Little Rock. When I’m not shooting, I’m teaching yoga, or deepening my own practice. Currently based in Little Rock, Arkansas, I have degree in journalism with a photojournalism emphasis. I began my professional photography career at the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette where I was a staff photographer for more than 15 years.

Hello, my name is Yachin. I’m a photographer based in NYC. I am terrible at writing about myself, so I had some colleagues do it for me. lol “Yachin transcends the relationship between a photographer and someone who hires him. He is so comfortable behind the camera that it amazes me to see portraits where he’s captured the very essence of a person. For him, it’s just natural bringing the people he photographs to life. And it’s not simply that Yachin is magnetic, but how he uses it to give his images a soul. From an Admiral in the Navy to a Miss America contestant to a random walking down the street, he has never met a stranger. And once he snaps your picture, whether you knew it or not, you have a friend for life.” — Ryan Blum, Executive Creative Director, VMLY&R “Yachin and I collaborated on the Erase The Line campaign for breast cancer awareness. Yachin created a super casual and fun environment on set while simultaneously getting the right shot which ended up packed with emotion and visual style. Even though we met for the first time on set, during Covid, I felt like we’d been working together for ages. Yachin is a true pro and the work speaks for itself!” — Nicholas Capanear, SVP, Eversana Intouch Group "Yachin is an incredible photographer, there's no doubt about it. What truly makes Yachin stand out is his talent for raw, human connection. The man can make friends anywhere, and it's this innate charm, charisma, and love of the human experience that enables him to take photos of even the most hyper vigilant individuals, giving his audience an artistic and educational window into extraordinary lives rarely seen." — Ian Cumming, Director "I love working with Yachin! He's great at what he does and brings a wonderful attitude to the day. I think you should hire him and thank me later!" — Janice Baker, Agency Owner/Photo Art Director
I live in Washington, DC, with my reporter wife, son and daughter. Back in the day, I studied photojournalism at the University of Missouri and worked for some newspapers.

This is usually the area where photographers pretentiously posture as if they just cured cancer. They talk about how they connect spiritually with their subjects or how they've been influenced by Pee Wee Herman. Whatever. I find it quite annoying. In that spirit, I'll keep my pitch short and sweet. Here's what you need to know about me. I have more than 30 years experience in newspaper, magazine and commercial photography. I was a director of photography for a midwest ad agency as well as for the Topeka Capital-Journal.I shared in a Pulitzer Prize at the Kansas City Star for its coverage of the Hyatt Skywalk Collapse in 1981. A small piece of it, but a Pulitzer nonetheless. I like to have fun. I ride a road bike a lot, and my family is my number one priority. I won't tolerate intolerance. I don't like it when people talk on their cell phones while driving. It's dangerous. I play the uilleann pipes. I went to law school with my daughter. But the most important things you need to know about me are: I am easy to work with, I don't take myself too seriously, and I produce great work on a budget and on deadline. And now, I'm a FAA Part 107 Certified Drone pilot offering photography from an aerial perspective, too.

With passion, empathy, and a dash of humor I’ve been crafting stories through photography and film for over a decade. My portrait work is honest and engaging and my extensive travel throughout the world has taught me how to interact with all kinds of people. The best part of my job is to have the privilege of using my work to speak into the lives of others. My wife and two boys are the pride and joy of my life. Nature, a good book, and time in my modest garden all give me rejuvination. Small talk is alright but deep, meaningful conversation is where it’s at.
I've always loved the curiosity of humans. How we each grow and change is a fascinating and unique story. I want to hear about your journey and all of your layers.

Authentic, emotive, and unusual, my images tell stories even when they stand alone. After a couple decades running my own shop and honing my craft as a commercial and editorial photographer, I’m still enamored with the language and allure of the medium. I’m known for my ability to put people at ease — even or especially when they don’t love having their picture taken. A successful shoot is about more than great images; it’s about great customer service. It should be a fun, thorough, and satisfying experience for the client. I enjoy the thrill of overseeing production with a crew of thirty, but also never tire of the intimacy of a small shoot. Assignments have taken me across the country from Memphis to Raleigh to Virginia Beach to Los Angeles. I’ve had the privilege of photographing all kinds of professional talent and real people – from the executive team of a global biotech firm, to presidential primary candidates, to unhoused teens aging out of foster care. In 2019, I relocated from St. Louis to the Pacific Northwest, and now live in weird and magical Portland with my brilliant wife Jackie and our two boys, Jupiter and George.

As a Kansas City-based commercial and editorial photographer, Steve Puppe’s freelance assignments range from food and environmental portraiture, to healthcare, agriculture and corporate photography. Living with his wife, two daughters and son outside the city, and with a studio in the Strawberry Hill area, Steve has stayed connected to the city where he’s spent much of his life. Steve’s interest in photography, like his connection to his hometown, has deep roots. With a painter for a mother, he was exposed to art at a young age, taking every art class available to him. He flirted with the paintbrush and the pencil, but it wasn’t until he received a camera that he fell in love. From his first high school photo class, Steve knew what he wanted to do with his life. While still a high school student, he had the good fortune of working with Hallmark Cards, which paired him with commercial photographers, and paid for his film and photo trips. Steve continued his photo studies at Kansas University, where he studied advertising and photojournalism. He also freelanced for Hallmark and commercial photographers on the side. Through Hallmark, Steve furthered his creative development, learning how to capture a diverse range of subjects from people to still life. He took that experience with him into a career in photojournalism, covering a variety of stories for notable papers. Eventually, Steve headed back to the studio, working as an in-house photographer at an ad agency. It was there that his degree in advertising gave came into play, giving him the insight to take on a wide array of clients and campaigns. Working as a graphic designer and photographer allowed Steve to take projects from conception all the way to the press check. Fast forward and nowadays, Steve combines that commercial experience with photojournalistic story telling shooting for notable clients like Cerner, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Humana, Sprint, Nike, Google, AT&T, Chrysler and IBM. When he’s not out on assignment, he’s cooking up some Kansas City BBQ, or taking pictures of his family because when Steve’s taking a picture, he’s happy.

I was a sergeant in the United States Marine Corps. I could engage a target from 500 yards and fieldstrip an M-16 blindfolded. After serving with some of the bravest people I’ve ever met, I traded my weapon for a camera — and learned about myself. In the years that followed, I was reborn through photojournalism. My work has since taken me around the world — and into the lives of countless beautiful people. Today I shoot a healthy mixture of commercial, editorial, and personal work. If it's true that we're all on a fast train to somewhere, you'll recognize me as the elder statesman with the kid spirit in the front car. Don't be a stranger.
I see pictures everywhere I go. And that's what makes life so interesting." After college, I was hired as a staff photography assistant. I learned so much assisting other photographers those first few years, and later as a retail product photographer. I quickly realized I loved the pace of photographing people. I began to show my book around, and started getting commercial assignments. I specialize in lifestyle and portrait photography as well as directing motion. I make polished, authentic pictures that viewers relate to. I like shooting people, and I like collaborating with my subjects and other creative minds. No matter who it is or what it's for, I find a person's essence…through his or her environment, an expression or attitude, or anything else I see. I help set the tone to get the right image…whether that's speaking up or shutting up. Many variables affect the outcome of a photograph; my job is to help shape them. "Generations after me will be able to see exactly what I saw. I like knowing that." Today, I'm still keen on learning new things about my craft…whether that's video, audio or new gear. I still lug around the same camera bag I won at a photography workshop 26 years ago. I live in St. Paul, Minnesota with my wife and three children.

My relationship with photography dates to elementary school when my family moved into a house with a darkroom. I spent most of my childhood there. In junior high I happed upon Cheryl Tiegs modeling for a shoot in Washington Square. I poached some frames. The pics scored me the job of photo editor of our high school newspaper. This was my big break because my then-classmate Jimmy Hirsch went on to be a staff writer for the New York Times. He somehow talked them into giving me an actual assignment. It went well and they gave me a couple more. It was official. I could legitimately say I shot for the New York Times. That was 1986. A couple thousand assignments later, I have begrudgingly lived through the transition from film to digital. As a reprieve, I have adopted a forgotten photographic process, the photogravure, and am diving deeply into its preservation. My wife, Hilary, whose patience, maturity and wisdom netted us three now-grown children is so supportive of my photogravure obsession that even when she can’t sleep, she asks about it…
